Living on Campus

Our residence halls are your home. Our dining options are your sustenance. These are the places you socialize. These are the places you energize. You are going to love them both.

When we select your classmates, we look for students who would make good friends, roommates and neighbors. As a result, four years from now when you reflect on what makes Ursinus so special, you’ll say it is the people. 

So What’s It really like to live here?

Res Halls give you options from singles to apartment-style living. You’ll find hundreds of tastes and food experiences on campus and off.

First Year Experience

At Ursinus, all first-year students live together in coed residence halls. Before housing assignments are determined, you will have the opportunity to share your preferences related to room size, roommates and lifestyle. Incoming students learn more about the housing-selection process during summer Orientation .

After the first year, students choose from a variety of excellent housing options, from singles to suites to home-style living arrangements in our Residential Village.
